Charles "Chic" McSherry (born 22 November 1958) is a Scottish rock guitarist, songwriter, author and businessman. In his music career, he has written five studio albums with Doogie White and the band La Paz. In his business career, he is on the Board of Directors of six UK companies, one U.S. Company and one Mexican company. He has also written two crime fiction novels published by Wild Wolf Publishing
McSherry was born in Lanark, Scotland and lived most of his early life in Viewpark, Uddingston. He formed the rock band La Paz with vocalist Doogie White in 1984 and they developed a strong songwriting partnership. They played gigs around the UK for four years and released two albums on cassette before White left in 1988 to join melodic rock combo Midnight Blue and then went on to sing with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tank and Michael Schenker.
In January 2008, McSherry and Doogie White were invited to reform and play at Rock Radio's 1st Birthday Bash. They played a 5 number acoustic set to almost 1000 people in The Garage, Glasgow along with other performers (GUN, SAHB, Thunder, Logan, and The Almighty). The show resulted in La Paz reforming as a full band and playing live again for the first time since 1988.
They played several shows in Scotland from 2008 through 2009 and in 2010 they secured a recording contract with Metal Mind Productions releasing their debut album "Granite" in February 2012. McSherry wrote most of the songs with White (with the exception of the ballad "Amy" - White/Mason) and also co-produced the album.
